Faith, Freedom, and Rationality

Jeff Jordan is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Delaware and the editor of Gambling on God: Essays on Pascal's Wager (Rowman & Littlefield, 1994). Daniel Howard-Snyder is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Seattle Pacific University.

The essays typically engage in rigorous analysis and argument, seek to advance current debates another step, and often have implications beyond philosophy of religion in such areas as epistemology, agency theory, moral theory, philosophy of mind, and the history of philosophy.
